The thing is if i compile hostap onthe same machine then i dont have any
problem, if i copy those generated drivers{hostap_cs.o,hostap.o} to some
other machines, the problem arises. Orinoco_cs is seen in these case and
not the hostap_cs.

I feel im missing some thing, which is done by compiling the hostap
source.probably that is not letting cardmgr to load hostap_cs.

I have only config and hostap_cs.conf files on /etc/pcmcia.
And i've added pcmcia card details of my card at the start of the config
file itself so that the cardmgr loads hostap_cs first.

Its still not working.
